GOD'S FIRE IGNITES HUMAN PASSION

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise’?” (Matthew 21:16). DAILY FIRE! - Chrsit For All Nations God’s fire ignites human passion. In human experience, God’s fire translates into passion: the type of passion that we saw in Jesus. Perhaps He was not only passionate in His words. When Jesus was going to Jerusalem for the last time, we read that He was walking ahead of His disciples, and they saw how He urged Himself onward: “Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed, they were afraid” (Mark 10:32).  Why? Somehow the fires in His soul were evident in the way He walked. When they arrived, Jesus saw the desecration of the temple. The disciples then had further evidence of His passionate feeling: His reaction turned Him into an awesome figure! The disciples were reminded of the Psalm:  “Because zeal for your house has eaten me up” (Psalm 69:9). But it was a love-anger, not a cold fury. Jesus was not a frenzied fanatic: He loved His Father’s house; that is all. It was His desire to see people in the temple, worshiping with freedom and happiness. But commercialism in the temple had spoiled all that, and His heart overflowed like a volcano; the fire in His soul made Him cleanse the temple.
